Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of southwest Queensland, Australia, Cunnamulla stands as an inviting haven for adventurous travelers in search of an unparalleled outback experience.
Situated along the tranquil banks of the Warrego River, Cunnamulla unveils a captivating landscape where the vast plains seamlessly merge with the boundless skies, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
At the heart of this setting lies a serene bathing oasis, where mineral rich artesian waters flow beneath the earth’s surface. Here, guests are invited to embark on a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation amidst a constellation of geothermal mineral pools, complemented by a cold plunge pool, sauna, and steam room.
Shaded by the graceful coolabah and eucalyptus trees that line the riverside, visitors can unwind and immerse themselves in the tranquility of their surroundings, while basking under the mesmerizing starlit skies of the outback during nighttime soaks.
Cunnamulla Hot Springs responds with elegance to the beauty of its outback river setting. Conceived as an attraction to boost Cunnamulla’s place on the tourist trail, it also strengthens community connection and contributes to a renewed township identity. Located on the levy bank of the river, the organic shapes of the hot pools meander sinuously under gumtrees, while in a palette of natural materials, the sequence of pools and landscape integrates seamlessly with the timber-screened building pavilions. Delight abounds in the smallest of details, inside and out. Cunnamulla Hot Springs provides a memorable relaxation experience amongst a chorus of corellas in a unique outback setting.
The design concept is a celebration of the lifegiving waters of the Great Artesian Basin and the critical role it’s played in culture and society over ancient and recent times.
Today, this facility is a tremendous community asset that will deliver opportunity to our community for eons.
Water, regenerative experiences, and relaxed gathering areas are a feature of outback life.Cunnamulla Hot Springs delivers all this … a destination!
